Richmond Race 5 - Streetsmart Pavement Repairs
DASHING FOR GOLD (4) has a strong record this track and trip including five wins from eight starts. Missed the frame latest (22.89) when fourth over 401m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has the ability and should feature. NEAR IMPOSSIBLE (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (18.43) at this track last time. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from seven starts. Worth following up. MR. INFORMANT (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 401m behind Absconding (23.06) in a NG. Placed at his previous run. Better than last start and can bounce back. EXEMPLARY (8) is worth including after a top-three finish at this track and distance most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.06) in a NG, finishing a 9 length sixth. Has two wins and three placings from 10 starts from the draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.89) over 401m at this track. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.75 lengths third over 401m at this track, clocking 22.95. In the minors two starts back. Winning chance on best form.

Last start finished fifth over 401m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths (23.12) behind Ramset Ready in a Grade 4/5 on August 26. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 14 lengths behind Mister Anatoly over 401m. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (22.87) at big odds over 401m at this track. Jumps from the outside. Cannot be ruled out.
